@michellecharriere_: Co-regulation, supporting your child when they are overwhelmed, time-ins, etc ≠ permissive parenting. This comes from the old way of thinking that a child must be punished in order to learn something. When in reality, connecting with and supporting our children aligns with brain development, and quite literally teaches their brain how to manage emotions and stress, which will give them an invaluable skill in the future. Punishment just teaches fear. Lack of boundaries can also teach children fear. If we do not set boundaries to keep our children safe, both physically and emotionally, and if our children see us as weak and folding at their every push-back, they may fear that we aren’t strong enough to step up and take care of them. A balance of emotional support and validation, with appropriate boundary-setting, is key in supporting a child’s emotional development. #parentsoftiktok #attachmentparenting #infantmentalhealth #gentleparenting #responsiveparenting #toddlersoftiktok
